Lin Yuning, dressed in a black sweater and black trousers, her ponytail tied high, stood before a slick, middle-aged man, speaking fervently about something.
Behind her, a lady lay sprawled on a table, her gaze hazy, motionless.
The dim lights of the bar meant Lin Yuning didn't see Gu Chen.
But Gu Chen could see the angry and disdainful expression that filled her delicate face.
Gu Chen hesitated over whether to go over and ask, when he saw Lin Yuning helping the girl walk out.
The slick man watched Lin Yuning's retreating figure, a fierce glint in his eyes, tinged with the thrill of spotting prey.
Immediately, he pulled out his phone and walked out, dialing as he went.
Gu Chen had a bad feeling and, after quickly apologizing to his clients, followed them out.
Lin Yuning's car was parked in the underground parking lot.
She hadn't reached her car, still supporting the unconscious girl, when she saw two sloppy-looking young men approaching.
